NOZZLE FOR OIL-CANS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N 0. 470,776,

dated March 15, 1892.

Application filed March 12,1891. Serial No. 384,782. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern..-

Be it known that I, CHARLES W. BEEHLER, a citizen of the United States,residing at St. Louis, in the State of Missouri,have invented certainnew and useful Improvements in Nozzles forOil-Oans, &c. and I do herebydeclare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of theinvention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which itappertains to make and use the same.

Thisinvention relates to the pouring-spouts or nozzles of oil-cans andlike utensils, the object of the present invention being to provide asimple, cheap, and durable pouringspout or nozzle possessing thefeatures of a ready and effective means for sealing or closing of theoil-passage when not in use and a perfect and efficient means foravoiding a spilling of the contents of the can in filling lamps and likeuses. I attain such objects by the construction and arrangement of partsillustrated in the accompanying drawings, in Which-' Figure 1 is a sideellvation illustrating my improved nozzle or pouring-spout applied to anordinary household oil-can, the nozzle or spout being shown in positionready for use; Fig. 2, a detail perspective view of the same in a closedor sealed condition, and Fig. 3 a

similar View of a modified construction of the same.

Similar numerals of parts 1n the different reference indicate likeviews.

Referring to the drawings, 1 represents the I ordinary curved nozzle ofthe oil-can, at the outer end of which is arranged a section of flexlbletube 2, and which in use is adapted to enter the filling-orifice of alamp or other article to avoid any liability to accidental spilling inthe pouring operation.

The flexible tube 2 is preferably secured to the nozzlel by means of theclip-hanger 3, which is preferably of a jointed construction, the loopportion 4. being pivotally connected to the clip portion 3, as shown, soas to be capable of movement in introducing the end of the flexible tube2 into the loop,when it is desired to seal the oil-passage, by theformation of a short bend or crease in said tube.

The loop at may be of a U form, as shown in Fig. 2, or of a hook form,as shown in Fig. 3, without departing from the spirit of my invention,and in like manner theattachment of the flexible tube to the can orother Vessel may be modified to suit the particular circumstance of itsuse and as will suggest itself to the judgment of the constructor.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, anddesire to secure by Letters Patent, is

In a pouring-spout or nozzle for oil-cans, &c., a flexible tube, incombination with a hanger-loop consisting of a clip portion attachingthe end of the flexible tube to the end of the can-nozzle and a loopportion pivoted to the clip portion and adapted to receive an end of thetube in a creased condition, substantially as set forth.

In testimony whereof I affix presence of two witnesses.
